Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell to host ribbon cutting

Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell will host a flag raising and ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. Friday at its new location at 2100 Dixie Highway.

The program will include remarks from Bernie Moreno, president of The Collection Auto Group of northeastern Ohio which developed the $20 million project; proclamations from state legislators, comments from a neighbor to the project, music from the Beechwood High School band, a color guard, flag raising and bagpipes.

The dealership opened Tuesday on a seven-acre site that formerly was home to a blighted motel. Fort Mitchell Mayor Chris Wiest described the new business as "an impressive gateway (to Fort Mitchell) and a beacon in attracting more upscale businesses to our proud community."

Representatives of The Collection Auto Group, Ohio's largest dealer of luxury vehicles, said the Fort Mitchell site was chosen with customer convenience in mind. The I-71/75 corridor provides easy access for visitors from throughout the Tristate, and it's close to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
